Invitation to Conference "Utilization
and protection of halophytes
and salt-affected landscapes"
September 4-6, 2013, Kecskemét, Hungary
Conference Topics
-Ecology and utilisation
of halophytes
-Protection of saline lakes,
grasslands and other salt-affected habitats -Ecological consequences of soil amelioration
-New approaches and results in the amelioration
of sodic soils, under irrigation and rain fed conditions (chemical, agrotechnical, biological and complex amelioration practices, afforestation measures)
-Use
of saline waters in agriculture
-Ecology
and soil-plant correlations
in native salt-affected habitats
-Prevention and prediction of secondary
salinization/sodication/alkalization due to irrigation
-Prevention of ecological catastrophes
and other off-site consequences of secondary salinization
-Increase of public awareness
and education for the prevention of secondary salinization
-The role of geological and other environmental conditions in the genesis of saline and sodic soils
-Groundwater depth, concentration
and its relationship with salinization/sodication/alkalization of soils
-Classification of salt-affected soils
for international correlation, land use and land evaluation
-Spatial
and temporal changes in salinity/sodicity/alkalinity status of
salt-affected areas
-Assessment of soil salinity/sodicity/alkalinity with new laboratory
and field techniques
-Remote
sensing and GIS in the assessment, mapping and monitoring of salinity/sodicity/alkalinity status of
soils
-Agrogeological problems related
to salinization/sodication/alkalization
-Mapping
of salt-affected soils based on environmental
correlation
-Modern
methods for the characterization and diagnosis of physico-chemical
and colloid-chemical properties
of sodic soils
-Legal
aspects of irrigation-induced
salinization
